Family lake house with private dock, kayaks & yard

Wake up to a quiet morning light over the water. Brew your coffee and step out to the deck to enjoy the peace and quiet. Spend your days kayaking around the lake, watching the kids play in the large lakeside sandbox, and fishing off the private dock. Share a grilled feast on the covered deck or inside at a large family table. As dusk falls, gather around the brick fire pit to roast s’mores while you watch the sunset paint the sky before retreating inside to a night of games. Disconnect from the world while you reconnect with your family; your Michigan lake escape is waiting.
